Dear All
Not a lot of news for you this week. The children continue on at school and are doing well. John-Luke has some after school activities, he doing a scrap book club and is also learning to play the Guitar. Gabriella has just got her old bike back into one piece, we brought it out from England in a case this time.
Edith continues to be busy and will be helping with swimming when the pool is opened again as it has been re tiled and they are having a shade put over it.
Paul is in the Dar office for the next couple of weeks, he has completed the 2014 draft budget and is currently trying to put the August figures together and hopes to have that finished in the next couple of days.
Well we hope you all have a wonderful week.
God Bless and love from us all.

Settling back into Tanzania
Dear Friends and family
Sorry we have not blogged for some time but we have been travelling around. At the end of June we went to South Africa for a couple of weeks holiday, on returning we were back for two weeks but one of those weeks Paul was up in Dodoma. We then travelled to the UK on home assignment returning to Tanzania on the 27th August. We are not sure what happened to our time in the UK it went past rather fast.
The children went back to school on the morning of the 28th August. Since we arrived back at home from the UK at 9.30pm on the 27th it was good going that the children were up and at school by 7am on the 28th August. Edith has managed to unpack and sort things out and will be getting involved with helping at the school again when the swimming pool is back up and running mainly.
On Saturday the 31st August we had some of our supporters visit us here in Dar. Tim, Trish Celeb and Elijah Ffrench had been out on a Tear fund trip here in Tanzania as well as some holiday and they returned to Dar on Friday evening but their flight out was not until Saturday night, so we went with then to a water park and had a lovely day.
Paul was back in the Dar office on the 29th but only for three days before travelling up to Dodoma for almost two weeks he only returned on Friday. It was a rather busy visit as he had to have meetings with the department heads to prepare the 2014 budget and then put it all together and run through it with the programme manager and then also he had to do some of the work on the August accounts which as yet are not complete. The Budget will be sent in tomorrow once Paul gets a couple of further bits of information. Paul was very grateful that Fiona Stevenson was able to visit from the Ashford office to sort out the July accounts and start to prepare the budget pages.
Now hopefully things will settle down a bit and we will be able to get back into posting on the blog each week to keep you all up to date.
May thanks for your prayers and support.
God Bless and love from us all
